It comes off at its own pace, which is usually 7-10 days after. If you had one fall off sooner, you may want to call the surgeon's office and see what they advise.

minejust fell off dont take them orpullthemoff

each type of steri-strip is different. the type my Hospital used holds on for dear life They took mine off today day 15.

I would say it depends on the status of your incision sites. If they look good then don't stress, if they are not healing contact your dr.'s office.
